Joltage Powers Down

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dot-bomb-aftershock dept.

jbyter writes "Wi-Fi service provider Joltage sent a e-mail to subscribers that read "It is with regret that I am writing to inform you that Joltage will be discontinuing its Wi-Fi subscriber and provider services effective at the end of this month." This could have been very cool, but due to economy and lack of subscriber participation they are no longer able to finance their operations." Too bad -- this sounded like a good idea. The Joltage homepage isn't much help -- it's in place, but content-free. Any other Joltage customers who can comment on this?

    What seems like a neat idea doesn't actually turn out to be economically viable. Is this dot-com bust #42587?

    I think that's the problem... there weren't any other customers.

    hehe...

    Notice they refuse to put the name of the account in the description. I'm guessing "jewboy" or "ihateblackpeople".
